REVIEWS
"A magical little fairy tale with a cast so sparkling with merriment that they should be bottled and given away as surprises to startled boys and girls on snowy Christmas mornings. The storybook picture set, the catchy songs and the dance and extempore flourishes will engross eager minds that love the magic of stories in living theatres" ~ stagecorner.com
